A memorandum of understanding (MoU) has been signed between UCLB and the University of Tartu. The joint agreement will be of mutual benefit and enable greater collaboration between the two universities and their technology transfer companies.
The MoU will see the technology transfer offices from both UCL and the University of Tartu work together to exploit intellectual property and relevant patents, held by both institutions.
Commenting on the announcement Cengiz Tarhan, Managing Director of UCLB said, “This is an important collaboration for UCLB and we look forward to working with the University of Tartu to help promote UCL’s research and technologies in Estonia, whilst UCLB will work to promote Tartu technologies within the UK and across Europe.”
Erik Puura, Vice Rector for Development of the University of Tartu said,
“For us, the collaboration with UCLB means that we have a direct link to the region, where many of the World’s top universities are located. We have identified UCLB as one of the few most competent and competitive technology transfer organisations in the UK. I personally like the mission of UCLB – acting for the benefit of humankind in its widest sense. I hope we will have some fast advances in the close future.”
